Step 1. Sign in
- Use your favorite web browser to go to the LinkedIn Learning homepage at https://www.linkedin.com/learning
- Select the Sign In button at the top of the page (Fig 1)
- Sign in using your organization email, this will be your Winona State email address, not your StarID (e.g., doug.johnson@go.winona.edu or djohnson14@winona.edu) and select Continue (Fig 2)
- Select Sign in with Single Sign-On (Fig 3).
- Enter the version of your username with your StarID in it (e.g., jd8762vd@minnstate.edu
Step 2. Decide whether to connect your LinkedIn account
- You will be asked whether you want to connect your personal LinkedIn account, if you have one, to your WSU LinkedIn Learning account. (Fig 4 and 5) You do not need a personal LinkedIn account to use LinkedIn Learning and you do not need to connect the two. LinkedIn is a popular online resume and professional networking service and connecting the two services has some advantages. You can always decide to do it later and the two can be disconnected later. Please note that, if you connect the two, you will use your "personal LinkedIn" username and password to log into your "LinkedIn Learning" account from that point forward.
Step 3: Select topics that interest you
- You will be asked to select topics/skills of Interest to you (select 3 to start with). Your choices will help LinkedIn Learning populate your homepage with recommended courses. After selecting some topics, you will continue to your LinkedIn Learning homepage.
